things i'm loving (fallish edition)

I am finally done midterms and will be celebrating in parks&rec fashion by treating myself to a whole foods trip, apple cider slushie and bread making tomorrow. Also I hope to soon update you on my adventures in culinary school if you all would like to hear about it.

“Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” -You’ve Got Mail

my love list for the fall wouldn't be complete without a quote from my favorite fall movie, also if you know any guy that will send me a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils help a girl out

midweek slump

via

I dont know if it's the fact that I still have a pratical midterm to take for culinary arts this week or that I forgot to take a stats quiz monday but I'm in a bit of a mood today. I'm feeling burnt out and its only wednesday, my tough classes (that lahttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifst 6 hours) dont even start until tomorrow and my online class is open tomorrow. None of this seems to matter I just dont feel productive. The weekend seems forever away. I'm trying to combat this feeling by thinking of my weekend plans: crafting for my giveaway once I reach 50 followers, getting a apple cider slushie at a local farm stand sunday, making a trip to whole foods and hopefully baking bread so I can make this lovely lustworthy sandwich.

Some other things that are getting me through this week; drinking lots of hot apple cider, salt bagels, michael buble and she&him's recent christmas albums and this quote: "I strive for grace, not perfection" (thanks april!)

what things are getting you through this week?

fall bucket list, updated

fall sandwich

recently I made a bucket list for fall of things I wanted to make. I have tried to make none of them to be quite honest. Culinary school has gotten the best of me and when I'm not doing homework for that I'm practicing midterms for my classes,and when I'm not doing that my mother is requesting me to make things like gnocchi and soup that I've brought home from class and we both have loved. However I'm hoping that will change this weekend because I can't put off making this sandwich any longer, I think I've read the post about it 15 times and I just cant take it anymore. It's officially moved to the top of my list of things to make this fall and it allows me to make the french bread I so loved eating and making in foundations of baking a few weeks ago. Keep your eyes open for more updates on my bucket list as I hope to continue to cross things off in the few upcoming weeks.

--random note I've started collecting every food magazine that is anyway holiday/thanksgiving related and started making lists of things I want to add to our standard thanksgiving repertoire.

things i'm loving (parks and rec edition)

So recently I started watching Parks and Recreation and I seriously can't get enough. Amy Poehler is basically my hero and I wish I had someone as positive as Leslie Knope in my life. I watched the first 2 seasons in less then a week and am almost up to date and finished the 3rd season.
